Before You Begin
Thank you for purchasing one of the most technologically advanced electronic
treadmills available: the M9.20 and M9.20s Low Impact Treadmills. These
treadmills feature two of the most sophisticated and beneficial technologies
Precor has ever created:
Ground Effects Low Impact System and Integrated
Footplant Technology. Both are true breakthroughs in technology.
Ground Effects allows the treadmill running bed to “float” on specially
formulated elastomeric springs, which cushion impact and control lateral
motion without diminishing the bed’s lively, responsive feel. Because it’s fully
suspended, the bed provides optimum shock absorption anywhere your feet
land, not just in the center of the running area.
Integrated Footplant Technology (IFT) is a microprocessor-regulated motor
control system. This patented technology collects motor and belt speed data,
using it to monitor your workout and enhance your safety and comfort. It
replicates the natural walking and running motion of your feet. By allowing
slight, natural speed variations throughout your stride, Precor treadmills reduce
shock and pounding to your body.
The M9.20 Low Impact Treadmill offers an easy-to-understand electronic
console that gives motivating feedback about your workout. Professionally
designed exercise options incorporate the latest in exercise science. Three
different modes enhance your workout capabilities: Manual, Interval, and
Weight Loss.
The M9.20s combines all the benefits of the M9.20 and provides an additional
feature: Program mode. Ten factory-programmed courses provide variety to
help motivate you during your workout.
The M9.20 and M9.20s Low Impact Treadmills have many unique features
which set them apart from conventional treadmills. To maximize your use of
the M9.20 and M9.20s treadmills, please study this guide thoroughly.
